Today I have finished my work an the WordPress Plugin Active Directory Integration and published it on wordpress.org . The plugin is based on a work of Jonathan Marc Bearak and gives you the ability to authenticate and authorize your WordPress users against an Active Diretory. One of the major improvements is security.

Hello, I have some questions about how this plug in functions, to make sure it is what I am hoping for. If it is set up properly, does it eliminate the need for people to log in, if they are already logged into our AD? If someone is not logged in, can it restrict them from seeing the website, or would our other plug in that currently does that continue to do that?

Thank you for any help you can provide!

Hi Mindy!

Single Sign On is not supported (so far). Every user has to logon to WordPress even if he is logged into the domain.
Yes, you can restrict user from seeing the website by use of other plugins like Registered Users Only.

This plugin works great! Multisite is listed as a feature – should I install it in the mu-plugins folder, or just the normal plugins folder and network activate it?

Hi Timothy,
just install it to the normal plugins folder and network activate it.
